It’s the first Saturday of a new year. How will you spend it? We get just 52 of them in 2026 so it’s best to spend the time wisely.
It’s also the first weekend of my No Spend Challenge so I’ll be home, doing home things and hopefully reading. I’m in the middle of a page turner. In fact, I fell asleep reading last night, waking up to the book hitting my face.
How lovely it is to fight sleep in favor of just one more page!
It’s also lovely to have a furry little friend to check on you and curl up close. Scout will be glad to keep me company while we relax today.
This is how I want to spend this day. It’s a choice and I’m glad for it. Wherever you are, I hope you are choosing to do something that brings you joy and peace as well.
Brandi – I’m a huge fan of rest and reading days! This morning I’m off for a jog and then working on my camper van. Getting it ready for retirement and a trip down to Bisbee, AZ. Just the name makes me smile. Enjoy your weekend.😊
That sounds both productive and relaxing. Plus, how exciting to be working toward an adventure goal!! When do you retire?
February 11, 2026🎆
Soon!! Good for you!
I wasn’t planning to read any novels this month, then suddenly space opened up. I decided one of this month’s book club reads was not worth my time. So I got a short novel at the library, then walked along the river trail to photograph some public art for my blog. Ran into an old acquaintance and chatted with her a while. Had my binoculars to check out the ducks on the river. Got home and made a spaghetti dinner. Resting now with a cup of decaf.
That sounds like a perfect day! What novel did you choose?
“Tin Man” by Sarah Winman. I forgot I had stared an ebook, too: “Moon Tiger” by Penelope Lively.
I always enjoy knowing what others read.
This has happened to me many times, “How lovely it is to fight sleep in favor of just one more page!”
Someday I’m going to wake up with a black eye!
